I am playing Descent: Freespace under Ubuntu 12.04 (lInux kernel 3.2.0-31) . When I commit to the second mission "The Field of Battle" the game crashes with the following error message:
*** glibc detected *** ./freespace-bin: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x098e9750 ***
and a long memory map.
What is the correct venue to discuss this in?
Not only that, the intro does not have sound and if you try to play it from the Tech Room, the game crashes.
I am wondering if there's a way to file an bug report to the developer/publisher? These games are not cheap, and if the bugs are not ironed out in a timely manner, I might consider requesting a refund.
This is the original source code of the game ported to Linux. The no sound was an issue with not being able to get the sound in videos working correctly. You might want to try downloading and using FS2_Open which uses the Freespace 1 & 2 data files but has a much more updated engine for the game.
Thanks, I hadn't known about FS2Open before. However, it requires a retail Freespace 2 installation, which I don't have, and I don't really feel like shelling out another 6 bucks for it.
I am playing Freespace on Ubuntu 12.04 (Kernel 3.2.0-31). The game crashes the moment I commit to playing the 2nd Mission ("The Field of Battle"). The terminal contains this error message:
*** glibc detected *** ./freespace-bin: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x098e9750 ***
followed by a backtrace and a memory map.
Is anyone else having this problem, and is this the right place to discuss this?
Hi there,
nice to see ...but
is it playable in other languages than english?
Greetings@ALL
Good to see a Linux Version avaiable.My brothers Compact Disks from the Battle Pack are over 10 years old.
Did Freespace 2 for PC and Linux coming soon to Desura?
Yes it is now available.
I'll consider buying a copy of this once they propose a GNU/Linux x86-64 binary for download.
Still loving the second game with all the user made content. Will probably give this a go.
(Also, the banner image is a screencap from FS2. The ship is a Perseus, which is only seen in FS2, and that image is actually of the user made upgrade to the Perseus' model, not even the vanilla one.)
Holy poop, I found this in a Goodwill ten years ago! Greatest space combat sim EVER!!!!!!
Wow I used to love this game and the sequel :-) I wonder how it would hold up today though lol
